Description

The dCS Vivaldi DAC redefines the digital audio experience, unraveling even the most intricate recordings with total precision and composure. It presents a sound that feels entirely natural, immersing the listener in a beautifully complete portrayal of music. With its delicate touch, the Vivaldi brings each note to life, revealing a panoramic view of a recording or mix, capturing the finest details and the subtle spaces between them—the silences, tensions, and emotions that define a performance.

Crafted for the purest musical expression, the Vivaldi is designed to disappear, allowing the listener to become absorbed in the sound and fully immersed in the artist’s world. Built upon three decades of innovation, its four-chassis design offers almost limitless potential. The launch of the Vivaldi marked a new era for dCS, reimagining core technologies like the Ring DAC™ system, clocking architecture, and the dCS Digital Processing Platform, shaping the future of every dCS product.

Unrivaled in both sonic and technical abilities, the Vivaldi has earned global acclaim for its revolutionary design and captivating sound. Its groundbreaking performance, with its focus on revealing every nuance and minimizing distortion, continues to set it apart as the most sophisticated playback system available. With the Vivaldi APEX, dCS has once again redefined state-of-the-art in digital audio, enhancing the Vivaldi DAC with next-generation Ring DAC APEX™ hardware.
